    Summary

    Odysseus knows he is being foolish. If he’s allowed to have a connection to a single Olympian, here on this Tartarus attempting to disguise itself as Elysium, it would make more sense for him to choose Lord Hermes, who has aided him before.

    (It has been a year, and yet he still pines for home. Calypso has grown tired, and thinks that granting him a single god’s attention would sate him—as if anything could sate him but going home and seeing Penelope, meeting Telemachus again for the first time in thirteen years.

    Gods. His boy is fourteen now).

    And yet, when the Goddess Calypso demands to know who he will take on, as his one deity, he finds himself saying, “Athena.”

    (OR: Athena finds herself missing Odysseus enough to check on Telemachus earlier and is therefore convinced to look in on Odysseus earlier, only to find that she can't reach out to him unless Calypso allows it. A year later, Calypso agrees to let him have a connection to a deity of his choosing. He chooses Athena, because some part of him will always think of himself as hers.)

    OR OR: the "Odysseus pretends to date Calypso to buy Athena time to get him off Ogygia" AU that got far more serious than I thought.)

    Summary

    When Odysseus unexpectedly gained Poseidon's favor (by grievously harming him but apparently that wasn't important), he didn't know what to expect. Both Athena and Hermes, once they had given him assistance, left him to actually do his task alone.

    They never watched.

    (Or: Poseidon assists in the slaughter of the suitors. Surprisingly, not a lot changes.)

    Summary

    Five years ago, the king of Ithaca made the choice to sacrifice himself for his crew. Over 500 men made it back, but Odysseus was not one of them, cursed instead to swim the seas.

    At first he could remember, even if he no longer could speak - his tongue removed as part of the punishment, but one incident with the wind bag later and he was alone for far far too long.

    But Ithaca will have it's king.

    And more importantly; Penelope will have her husband back. No matter how long it takes.
